Life Writing

What is 'life writing'? Life writing uses lived experiences as a starting point for a fictional work. It might take the form of a story or a play, a poem or a song, a blog or a personal essay. You might take an element of a lived event or perhaps something from your family's history; it could be an event you witnessed or simply overhead. You'll be free to experiment, changing characters' names and the setting. What's true and what's invented only you, the writer, will know!
